''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' is a 2D platformer like its predecessor, ''Donkey Kong Country''. The playable characters are [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]. | ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' is a 2D platformer like its predecessor, ''Donkey Kong Country''. The playable characters are [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]. order to travel through each level of the game and complete each of the game's many [[Bonus Level]]s, the Kongs have to use their basic and special abilities. Both Kongs have different abilities. The basic abilities include jumping, climbing, and swimming. Jumping is often used in the game to cross gaps and grab things in the air. A super-jump can also be performed if Diddy [[cartwheel]]s or Dixie spins off of a ledge and jump while in mid-air. Diddy's cartwheel move and Dixie's [[Helicopter Spin]] can defeat several enemies, but not all. Dixie can use her Helicopter Spin ability in mid-air as well, allowing her to float for a short amount of time to avoid falling into gaps. Both characters can climb up ropes quickly to access high areas, with Diddy having the ability to climb slightly faster than Dixie, let alone on land and underwater in general. The swimming mechanic is similar to earlier platforming games of the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series: The player must hit {{button|SNES|B}}, the jump button, to advance upwards into the water, as not pressing the button causes the Kongs slowly sink to the bottom. Pressing {{button|SNES|Y}} enables them to swim quicker, and {{button|padup}} and {{button|paddown}} controls their ascent and descent. | ||
Though Diddy does not have as many abilities as Dixie, he is able to defend himself while holding a barrel. While Diddy holds an object in front of his body to block himself, Dixie holds objects over her head, allowing enemies to easily attack her. When both Kongs are in play, and none are stuck in a [[DK Barrel]], the two Kongs are able to use the new [[Team-up]] move, in which one Kong holds the other one on their shoulders and can throw them upward. The Kong riding the other one's shoulders can be thrown at enemies to defeat them or upward to reach items and access certain areas. | Though Diddy does not have as many abilities as Dixie, he is able to defend himself while holding a barrel.
